We look at risk management and capital management within the context of Basel III, which impacts institutions in many different ways. Basel III and other new regulations will have profound impacts on banking products, banks’ business models, and their risk management practices. Resulting decrease in ROE is widely considered consequential for shareholders. Empirically, ROE is not a good performance measure and IS NOT correlated with shareholder returns. Banks need to take a portfolio/holistic/integrated approach to measure and manage the entire capital and balance sheet.

There is the certain (erroneous) perception that CPM and Economic Capital (EC) Models “failed” during the most recent credit crisis. We see further divergence between Economic Capital and Regulatory Capital (RC) with Basel III. While it is widely recognized that EC is more risk sensitive than RC, there is a lack of large scale empirical evidence on the actual performance of EC and RC. The objective of our research is to understand how EC and RC perform as risk and performance measures, when looking at the data.

All effective risk management is dependent on defining a firm’s risk appetite. This presentation explains what risk appetite is, how to define it and what a risk appetite statement should look like. It also sets out the importance of embedding risk appetite into a wider risk management framework that cohesively links to strategy and business planning.
